What rhymes with lust
\nmust, dust rhyme with lust
\na wiggle, giggle, wriggle, a curl
\nstiletto \u2013 pain \u2013 signal
\nsign on for normalcy
\non the street guys, dolls
\n
\nDay after estrus, more than a scramble
\na shambles, at home.
\n
\nAfter the ball is over
\nour glorious swan song, seventy years on
\nis this the end of beginning or the beginning of the end
\nnightmares are here to help us
\nwhat’s the difference between, side show
\nor, slide show
\nit’s pointless to argue the point
\n
\nBack to time
\nthere’s no curtains for time
\nthe show must go on.
\n
\nAfter the ball is over, seventy years on
\ntwenty fifteen
\nthere’s no more winners
\nhomage either to birds or worms
\njump through the hoop into gorilla sky
\nbow down before the great strife
\n
\nSizzling bite gulp fizzy sprinkle scrumptious
\npeckish hot tasty pour butty lovely kitchens
\nfrothy bubbly chunky plenty thick bangers
\njuicy dunk slurp \u2013 duh, Wilko<\/em>
\n
\nComing soon \u2013 Day of the Jelly Baby
\nafter the dust of war
\nhas settled, change must
\nstill we see the day
\nfrom star dust to eyes from ancient clay
\nthe smell of lust, spawned in the dust.
\n
\nA frog in the bucket thickens the milk.<\/strong>
